I used to believe that alligators lived in the sewers, so i was afraid to go to the bathroom. I believed that a alligator would pop up from the toilet and bite me.

My older bro was always playin trickes on me when I was 6.So one day I went to use the toilet
and I saw a dead hand(Fake dead hand).I ran screaming.....so untill I was 9 I always hated to use the toilet in fear of the hand grabing me by my penis and draging me to the toilet world.

Basterd.

Sshhh...the hand might come and get me.....

When I was in the 1st grade, the bathroom near my classroom had painted stalls. In one of the stalls, the paint was a chipped, and it was chipped in such a way that it looked like the guy from the movie Scream. I thought that he lived in that bathroom and that was a picture that he made of himself!

I used to believe that there was a monster that lived down the toilet and that everytime u did a number 2 he was fed n a number 1 gave him a drink. i used to think that as long as he had enough to eat and drink he would not come up the drainpipe and eat me.

When I was younger I was deathly afraid of toilets. Whenever I flushed, I would run like the wind out of the bathroom-- without washing my hands. I would also leave the lights off in the bathroom so that I wouldn't wake up the "toilet monster." And at night, I would turn on one light, as far away from the room as possible, go to the bathroom, flush, then run like crazy, while trying to be completely silent, and rush to my bed. Then I would pretend to be asleep, because the toilet monster doesn't eat sleeping children. I also thought there was a big boss toilet monster, and he had lots of little... minions. And if you peed fast enough, the sides of the toilet would be too slippery for him to climb up. And then when you flushed the sound was him screaming as his got sucked into the drain like a black hole. To this day, if the toilet flushes loudly, I jump!

When I was little my mom told me if I don't aim for the little flush hole in the toilet, then a man would come to the house that night steal my penis. I still aim to the hole to this day. THANKS MOM

At elementary school, the toilets where really loud when you flushed them so I always thought that the big blue jeanie off of Aladin would pop out and get me so i would flush and run out!

MY best friend used to belive that at night when she went to the washroom she would have to go as qickly as she can or elce something would come out and bite her. i thought she was jokeing so i started to laugh and she looked at me seriously and said " im not jokeing it's true." ever since then i can't look at her without laughing!

I've always been afraid that Hannibal the Cannibal was in the sewers, and that he would eat your butt if you sat on the toilet too long. This is partly due to seeing The Silence of the Lambs and cartoons where alligators were in the sewers at a young age and getting them confused.

When I was little I was in a video rentals store and saw the case for a movie with an evil little monster coming out of a toilet. Now, here's the weird part-- I thought that when I was undressed before I was in the shower, the toilet monster would smell my privates and come out of the toilet. Everyone thought I had problems ,but I was only a little kid at the time--you should see some of the other beliefs on this site.

When I was in third grade, being the little teacher's helper that I was, I told everyone that if they didn't get good grades or were bad in school, whenever they went to the school restroom a peepee monster would come out and drown them in their own urine. The teacher still wasn't happy.

When I was about 6 I heard my dad tell my mom the house would explode if all three toilets were flushed at the same time. He was joking of course, but from then on I was always afraid to flush the toilet.

My favourite place to read was always whilst on the toilet. I could spend ages just sitting there and reading until one day a friend told me that if you sit on the toilet to long your rectum falls out. After that i wouldn't sit on the toilet for more than 5 minutes until one day my dad spent an hour shitting and with no side effects of rectum loss. My first thoughts were hooray more toilet time and my second was that my friend was a tossa.

When I was little I asked my mom where all the poop and pee went and she said that it went to the ocean. So during that year we were at the beach snd we were talking about there were snakes int he water so i then was afraid to go to the bathroom because I thought that a snake would come up front he toilet and bit me then that change when we moved and got a septic system.

I thought if I left the door open too long, a dog would come from the cupboard in the washroom and eat me

i used to beleive when i was little that if i did not get out of the room before the toilet stopped flushing the toilet monster would come out and pull me down. i still like to get out before it stops

When I was a little girl, I didn't like loud noises. One of the things I believed was that the sound the toilet made when it was flushed called some type of evil spirit/monster, but this rule only applied after dark. As a result, I wouldn't flush the toilet if I got up to go during the night. Now as a mother of 4, I think about this when we wake up to unflushed toilets. My husband isn't as understanding, he gripes at them.
